When school meal programs are designed intentionally, they don’t just feed children—they can employ more women, build skills, and anchor local economies.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Here's who the Washington Post just laid off.

[Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe]

Through it all, I kept my @washingtonpost subscription, mostly to support the brave and important work that its reporters—both my friends and people I'd never bet—were still doing. After today's unconscionable firings, I've canceled my subscription. Because fuck that.

[David Folkenflik @davidfolkenflik]

WaPo International Editor Peter Finn asked executives to lay him off to try to save colleagues.

(First reported by NYT.)

[Gerry Shih @gerryshih]

It was a privilege to be a Post correspondent, roaming the world the last 7+ years for a paper I very much believed in. I'm gone along with the rest of the ME team and majority of teammates from Delhi to Beijing to Kyiv & Latam. Sad day, but it was a lot of fun and we raised hell

[Shane Harris @shaneharris]

I spent 7 years at the @washingtonpost. Did some of the best work of my career. Had some of the best times of my life. The people responsible for the misery that is about to unfold will probably fail up, which is a damn shame. There will be a time for recriminations. But today, I'm going to channel my fury into love, for the people in my old newsroom who are about to lose their livelihoods, and the ones who will be expected to pick up the pieces. I'm sending you all every good thought I can muster. Please remember that this is not your fault. You did everything you could, everything that was asked of you and more. I was and remain proud to be your colleague.

[Alan Sipress @AlanSipress]

Today I’m grieving. But soon, I’ll be reveling, as I see them once again rock the world.

[Mayor Muriel Bowser @MayorBowser]

The Washington Post is not The Washington Post without great Metro coverage of one of the most important regions in the world.

And the Sports Capital demands robust sports coverage.

The impacted journalists have been a powerful engine of storytelling in our city. This is a big loss.
